Important Information About Email Communication
When we exchange emails, please note that the information transmitted is not encrypted. This means it could be intercepted and read by a third party while traveling over the Internet. Additionally, if someone gains access to your email account, they could view any emails you receive.
What is HIPAA?
HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, was established in 1996 to create privacy and security standards for protecting health information.
Our Commitment to Security
Any data stored on our systems is encrypted to ensure its safety. However, most widely used email providers (e.g., Hotmail®, Gmail®, Yahoo®) do not offer encryption for email communication.
Guidance on Email and HIPAA
Email is a common and convenient way to communicate. Recent updates to HIPAA guidelines clarify that healthcare entities may send personal medical information via unencrypted email if:
- The patient is informed about the risks of unencrypted email.
- The patient consents to receiving health information through this method.
